Conry Tech Supports the Global Cooling Pledge
The Global Cooling Pledge provides an opportunity to commit to sustainable cooling with concrete actions. It aims to raise ambition and international cooperation through collective global targets to reduce cooling related emissions by 68% from today by 2050, significantly increase access to sustainable cooling by 2030, and increase the global average efficiency of new air conditioners by 50%. The emission targets draw on the modelling from the UNEP Cool Coalition report Global Cooling Watch 2023 Keeping it Chill: How to meet cooling demands while cutting emissions.
This is an initiative of the United Arab Emirates as host of the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP28), the Pledge is one of nine non-negotiated declarations, pledges, and charters that constitute key outcomes for the COP28 Presidential Action Agenda.
64 Countries have signed this pledge, representing over half the world’s population, but sadly as at this date, Australia has not joined the pledge. However, Conry Tech has publicly offered our support for this pledge, as we believe that reducing the emissions of cooling is one of the lowest hanging fruits in reducing the potential impact of climate change.
The details of the pledge are summarized here.
Update: 7/12/23 - Australia has now signed the Cooling Pledge!
